Winter Break is the Perfect Time to Repair Those Leaky Shower Tiles in College Dorms

October 8, 2013 By miraclemethod

College dorms tend to take a real beating. After all, you have new students moving in every year. The bathrooms in particular suffer enormous wear and tear. After a certain period of time, you’re going to want to improve the bathrooms in your dorms. An outdated and worn down bathroom isn’t going to help convince students to attend your school once they tour them. However, instead of remodeling your dorms’ bathrooms, you should use Miracle Method instead.

Remodeling the bathrooms is an option, but it’s an expensive one, especially when you take into account the number of bathrooms that need to be updated in your dorms. Not to mention that a remodeling project on that scale is going to take quite a bit of time. This is why you should simply consider tile repair and refinishing using Miracle Method instead. Refinishing your bathrooms won’t take long at all – you could get it done during a short student break. Not to mention that it will cost you just a fraction of the price of a remodel. You should also consider the fact that refinishing the bathrooms is more environmentally friendly since you’re continuing to get more use out of your bathroom fixtures, up to 15 more years in some cases, whereas with a remodeling project you’re sending your old fixtures to the landfill.

Find out how you can refinish your dorms’ bathrooms during an upcoming break by contacting us today at Miracle Method.

Get the Beautiful Look of Stone With Natural Accents

September 24, 2013 By miraclemethod

A bathroom or kitchen with a natural stone look finish speaks volumes in terms of great interior design. You can get that look without spending a bundle either. If you are interested in remodeling your bathroom, you should consider ceramic tile refinishing as an affordable alternative.

Before

Ceramic tile refinishing is especially beautiful with the Natural Accents line from Miracle Method. There are many different colors and textures to choose from. You can even apply it directly to laminate, worn tiles, marble, or even fiberglass. The cost for the stone look finish using Natural Accents is significantly less than using real granite and is a much better quality than a Corian style counter top. The application process is fairly simple and only takes between 48 – 72 hours for the bond to become permanent. One of the great things about Natural Accents is that the finish can be applied to bathtub tiles, tile floors, as well as counter tops. After the stone look finish is applied, you end up with a durable surface that can withstand heat and is even scratch resistant. If it does get damaged for any reason, it is also easy to repair.

By taking the Natural Accents route, you can create a fantastic contrast in materials and colors that looks like it cost a fortune, but in reality, only cost a fraction of what others would expect. You can have the kitchen, floors, and bathroom of your dreams thanks to Natural Accents from Miracle Method.

Students Head Back to School and to Refinished Showers and Vanities

September 10, 2013 By miraclemethod

Residents of White Hall on the University of Wyoming campus found beautifully refinished tile showers and in-room vanities when they arrived for fall semester. As part of the residence hall’s major renovation, the ugly tile and leaking shower pans were sealed and refinished in a fresh, new color while the laminate vanities were repaired and given a stone-look Natural Accents^® finish by Miracle Method.

Demolition and replacement of tile in 132 showers and replacement of 297 vanity surfaces would have exceeded the school’s budget and taken longer than the allotted summer break schedule. By using Miracle Method’s eco-friendly refinishing process, the tile and laminate surfaces were saved from the landfill and the project was completed within budget and in time for returning students.

Whether it’s a college residence hall, hotel or apartment complex, Miracle Method has a cost saving alternative to messy and expensive demolition and replacement renovation. Call 855-212-7337 or visit www.MiracleMethod.com/commercial to learn more about Miracle Method’s commercial services.

Is it difficult to replace a bathtub and tile surround?

March 8, 2012 By miraclemethod

When homeowners decide to improve and update their bathrooms, they often think a remodel requires the purchase of all new fixtures and accessories, especially when their bathtub and tile are old, damaged, or an outdated color. However, it’s important to understand what’s involved with bathtub and tile replacement before choosing that route.

Bathtub replacement is a messy, somewhat lengthy, and expensive process that is a job for a professional. A tub must be removed from its current space, and if it’s placed in between two walls, you run the risk of damaging those walls and what’s behind them in the demolition process. You also have to consider any plumbing work that may need to take place during the process. The price of the new tub, along with the costs for demolition and removal, installation, plumbing work, and the likes can exceed $3000 – this is definitely an option that should only be considered as a last resort.

Bathtub surface refinishing is a cost-effective alternative that can be completed in just a few days, restoring your tub and tile to a beautiful, like-new look and feel. Miracle Method comes to you and will refinish your tub without removing it. Our finishes are very durable and will give your tub and tile another 15 years or more of usable life.

If you are thinking about replacing your bathtub and tile, we recommend that you visit the Miracle Method website to learn more about how refinishing compares to replacement.

What if I damage my refinished countertop? Can it be repaired?

February 6, 2012 By miraclemethod

Refinishing is a great way to extend the usable life of your countertops, and for a fraction of the cost of replacement. As Miracle Method uses the most technologically advanced coatings available, our finishes are able to stand up to daily use. However, as with any man-made surface material, refinished surfaces can be chipped, cut, or burned by accident or abuse. The good news is if damage occurs after your countertop is refinished by Miracle Method, it can be repaired.

Miracle Method can repair damage on a countertop that’s previously been refinished and make it look like new once again. Once your countertops have been repaired and refinished, we suggest that you follow our very basic care and cleaning instructions to avoid future damage.
